I love to do the Year in Review on the last day of the year...I also love to see other bloggers post theirs too.

January

I'm really not a purple girl but surprisingly, I found quite a number of purple projects...probably because I bought the pack of purple prima blooms.

Question for you Prima Bloom fans...what is the best adhesive to use for them??

My Girl

This girl really doesn't like getting her picture taken...sigh...so I adore this one that the boy snapped. Rainbows and Sassafras...how can anyone resist the colors?

February

I struggle with masculine cards but love how this grungy one turned out...the sentiment is by Skipping Stones Design. LOVED being on that design team...

Why yes, I do love Sassafras...although I'm sad that they are taking their company in a new direction...I'm happy for them to do what they love...design...how coolio is that?

March

I adore shaped cards....you'll probably notice that a majority of my cards start of with a PTI kraft base...

April

Stamped images by The Craft's Meow...I feel so fortunate to be part of the design team. This card is one that makes me smile because I gave it to my Momma and she has it proudly displayed in her kitchen:)

May

Stamps by Paper Smooches and the sentiment is byEAD Designs Co-Branding Paper Smooches...EAD Designs, what can I say? I adore my EAD Designs family:)

June

Amy Butler, SRM and The Craft's Meow...this card makes me smile...those that know me know that I love to combine patterns...add the stitching and it totally makes me happy.

One of those days....I had a ton of plans that eventually were squashed when I went out to my car that had a dead battery...sigh...gotta love AAA. That's okay, I managed to squeak out a card {and take a nap!}...

I'm still playing with my new goodies...check out one of my newest Hero Arts/Studio Calico sets, My Happy. See that doily? It's upcycled from Prima packaging...it's heavy transparency....just did some fussy cutting. The cameo is ala Hambly. I love the sentiment...don't you?

Originally I scoured the web for a similar image...that route is a smidge over whelming so I popped over to Jessica Sprague to see what I could find...it reminded me that I have some Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly that I've been neglecting...

The card is chock full of goodness....I'm going to be working on my holiday thank you's/New Years Day cards today...what I can make I'll pop in the mail tomorrow and then off to Valentine's Day cards...I was very naughty and didn't manage to send out very many holiday cards this year...no excuses...

I was overwhelmed with TONS of gorgeous cards and gifties from some seriously SWEET bloggie friends...Thank You Thank You Thank You...

The sentiment is Lawn Fawn's sophie's sentiments...LOVE that set...sweet font:) I'm linking up to the FAB Lawnscaping Challenge #24:

Tons of texture including the embossing and the glitz...I tend to be a silver glitter girl but couldn't pass up the Martha Yellow Gold Glitter and LOVE it.

I've been meaning to blog about the print I won from Jenny...it's available in her Etsy Shop, Jenny Suchin Designs, Believe in Pink. I popped it in an Ikea frame...and it sits in my Craft Room that is {obviously} still in progress...{Darin so kindly put together my faux Expedit that we picked up at Target}....need to make another trip to Ikea for more of those square baskets.

In the big picture...or amy's big picture, this is pretty CAS for me:) One strip of patterned paper...no stitching...did you notice that?!!!

How was everybody's holiday? We had an excellent time at all the different homes...I consider us lucky to have so many homes to celebrate in.

One of the many fab gifts I received is this glorious {white} iPod Touch:

{{thank you to my SWEET Darin!!}}

I LOVE it....spent way too much time on line and retail shopping for a new case...almost spent over $40 for one online and then ended up with a white hard casing...for which I will personalize with some EAD Designs vinyl...stay tuned for that:)
